The results are in for this year, a bit lackluster than previous years and I assume we're leaning towards the end of this little thing. We'll see what this coming year holds. Our fucking GOTY is a three-way tie...

Game Of The Year - Resident Evil VII / Horizon Zero Dawn / The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

And there you have it. The results are finished and these are the games we all voted for. Two categories were omitted from not having enough votes. Those being Best Handheld Game (will be removed in future years if we continue) and Best Remake/Reboot which will also be omitted from the lists.

Congrats to my personal GOTY, Resident Evil 7 and to Horizon Zero Dawn for that sweep.

(Someone remind @sloth to move all of these topics to their own category. Thanks love)

Voting is now closed.

The time has come for us once again to pick up our ballots and begin voting in the annual Noob's Choice Awards for 2017! We've seen some wonderful games come out this year, and I have no doubt that we should see some interesting results in this year's polls. Some minor rules and tweaks to keep in mind when voting.

Early Access games can be voted for as long as their final release was in 2017.

Voting for Best New IP needs to be a fresh, new IP.

Minecraft cannot be voted for.

Episodic titles that finished their story in 2017 are counted as 2017 releases.

The Indie Game category works for every platform. PC, Mac, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Switch, Handhelds, Mobile, etc. There's a lot to go for in this category.

Voting runs from November 1st, 2017 - December 31st, 2018. Luckily, the topic is going up a few hours early to get it out of the way.

To avoid clutter, all categories will be discussed in this thread.

Votes are only counted on the form itself. Votes in the thread DO NOT count.

The results are in for the annual Noob's Choice Awards. Not going to lie, the turn-out kind of sucked so it had an effect on the votes, but I'm still happy with the results. Let's get this going, shall we?

Most Surprising Game - Hitman 2016
